Correcting my mistakes and common misunderstandings people had about my research

There is no shame in being wrong as long as one corrects their own mistakes and that is what I am doing . As long as you don't keep repeating things that aren't true, in this thread I will be correcting many mistakes I made.


1) MY MISTAKE - I'm said this before retracting it but very early on I stated many humans might be wired to find homosexuality and pedophilia disgusting in default. I don't believe this anymore, and rejected it six months ago or so ago. Instead I think its like a fear of snakes its more likely to be learned but not truly instinctual or reflexive. Cultures are much more likely to be anti pedo but it isn't guaranteed.

2) MY MISTAKE - Early on I conflated the scientific research on disgust - how the brain acts when we are grossed out from Paul Rozin with many others. I combined the research of Paul Rozin, Val Curtis, Peter Dejong and Charmane Borg, Joshua Tyber and Debra Lieberman and more but I framed it as if all of it was attributed to Paul Rozin when Rozin only contributed certain parts.

3) MY MISTAKE - I stated several times that dramatic anti CSAM videos (warning the public about torture and worst day of lives) were made by NCMEC when infact they came from Tim Tebow's organization. Though my other claim about NCMEC drawing heavy focus on 764 extreme crimes still holds, they do frequently discuss sextortion with the public and 764 has been brought up.

4) MY MISTAKE - I said it took up to 2009 for NCMEC to concede on stranger abduction hysteria and focus on the reality that most contact child sex crimes are from trusted family members, friends and biological fathers. This gradual change did happen but it happened WAY EARLIER around 2002-2005. NCMEC birthed in 1984 out of fear of random stranger child abductions and John Walsh's tragedy (his child son was violently abducted raped and killed). and early NCMEC did use that as a model of predators until 2002 when the nuanced shift happened, but I inaccurately depicted as if they had spent another 7 years longer going down that rabbit hole. They reasoned their way out of it quicker then I stated, despite still being caught in the incorrect assumption.

5) PUBLIC MISUNDERSTANDING FROM ME USING A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS - A misunderstanding in terminology, On a girl lover board/forum I used the word "anti intellectual" to describe antis that aren't stupid, in example the average qanon believing redneck vs a Homeland Security ICAC agent who knows the data. In that thread I referred to NCMEC and the FBI as anti intellectuals. I did not mean they were stupid, infact I meant the contrary. That they are anti pedos but they are intellectually informed on the topic unlike the DAP dads who beat up special needs adults and get charged by their local DA.

6) PUBLIC MISUNDERSTANDING FOR ME NOT EXPLAINING DEEPER -

Oxytocin confusion and us vs them thinking.

This topic pertains to ingroup vs outgroup thinking and favoring the ingroup and I did not explain clearly enough. Us vs them thinking is NOT a monolith.

Different types of "thems/outgroups" exist.

1) Them's that we are indifferent too
2) Them's we pity
3) Them's we envy
4) Them's we dislike


Oxyotocin makes humans significantly more loving and compassionate to the ingroup members but less cooperative or willing to do team work to the outgroups 1-3, But if the outgroup is already disliked it will make out attitudes more punitive, in short yes it is true that oxytocin heavily promotes anti pedophilia punitive hysteria but it in general doesn't fuel cosmic conflict narratives. Only in certain situations does it do that, and also the amygdala play a role too.



7) PUBLIC MISUNDERSTANDING FROM ME NOT EXPLAINING WELL ENOUGH - When I said the sexual brain's default state is disgust I did NOT mean we are constantly feeling disgust. I meant to say that the sexual brain, especially the female sexual brain has a metaphorical body guard that is sex to flood it with disgust signals if it receives any unsolicited sexual stimuli. This can be anything from violent rape to a unwanted sex joke heard on the television, she will feel disgust in both cases. Her sexual brain's firewall is rejecting everything but proper sexual intercourse, just like the appetite hunger regions of the brain find it disgusting to eat anything but clean food. Anything on my bedroom floor would be disgusting to put in my mouth, but the clean chicken and salad sandwich on my desk bypasses the disgust over appetite firewall. Females probably feel more sexual disgust because they are the ones RECEIVING SEMEN, it is ENTERING THEIR BODY. So they evolved a more powerful sense of disgust to reject unwanted or infected mates.

8) CORRECTING A STRAWMAN USED AGAINST ME - When I said pedophilia triggers a mismatch with prehistoric animals that ate children, I never implied humans should be scared of wild animals or customes and mascots of wild animals, I still hold the claim about evolutionary mismatches for dangerous animals, and of course I apply it to all prehistoric dangers like starvation, freezing to death, rival tribes and heat stroke or whatever the hell else could kill kids in prehistoric times.

9) I GOT THE 2003 FEDERAL PROTECT ACT REALLY WRONG - The definition of CSAM in the US can unfortunately mean un-sexual generic bikini photos indeed. - but Grok from xAI misinformed be about the 2003 Protect Act

I was having a conversation with Grok from XAI about CSAM laws and he told me about how the 2003 Protect act expands the legal abilities of prosecutors to convict CSAM offenders, some how I misunderstood him as saying that expanded the definition of CSAM to include everything. Well, what I figured out that far back as the 90s the United States Federal DOST rules are what does it and 2003 marked no major change.

The aspects of the United States "dost analysis" rules 1. "partial lack of clothing" 2. "unnatural posing" and 3. "sexual intent of the viewer/from the website saved" is EXACTLY why Federal prosecutors can legally charge unharmed bikini pics of otherwise clothed kids as CSAM. "unnatural posing" is a weasel word that catches all, and sexual intent is a bingo FREE SPACE. That's how they charge everything situationaly legal as curation. That's why medical photos are only legal in context. Things that increase the chances of DOST completion are legs spread and buttocks bending over fully pointed at the camera. other then that they can still argue CSAM but not as easy. If anything after a few true CSAM images they just add the others for the heck of it due to "partial lack of clothing, unnatural posing and sexual intent of the viewer/website hosting the media".

10) BONUS SILLY PART - I'm attracted to teenagers. Even though I love little girls from swimwear shops based on my habits of viewing teenagers on swimwear catalog slideshows its obviously I was in denial about my attraction to teenage girls. They are so hot lol and they are way hotter then little girls, little girls are much cuter but teenagers are much more lust inducing. I was in denial of my attraction to teens based on social pressures and Epstein drama.

So there you have it mistakes I made corrected. I even apologized to NCMEC for making errors lol. I still stand tall and brave with Disgust Theory and I'm ready to take on antis. I still hold the claim that Haidt's Moral Foundation theory is true, Sapolsky, Rozin, and Borg's research re-adapted to defend MAPs works amazing. Disgust reflexes and Evolutionary mismatch are the core problems. I'm not retracting that, that I believe is true in the best of faith.

I think it's healthy to have differing opinions, theories and such, as not everyone sees things the same way nor has had the same experiences. Diversity is part of what makes theories and this kind of research so interesting.
